Inflation Timeline

Title text: Depending what corners of the internet you hang out on, 'regular' may at times awkwardly coexist with 'sexy.'

Cosmic inflation is the theory that the early universe expanded at an exponential rate. This explains the "clumpiness" of the early universe, which is necessary to explain the formation of large-scale structures (e.g. galaxies) as the universe evolved.

"Regular" inflation refers to the economic process where the average price of goods and services increases over time. This is usually gradual, but can be very rapid during times of economic distress.

The comic puts both of these on the same timeline of the universe. Cosmic inflation occurs shortly after the big bang. Regular inflation only occurs during the time of human society when money is used. Because of the logarithmic scale of the graph, the cosmic inflation period, which is only a tiny fraction of a second, looks much larger than regular inflation, which has existed for at most a few thousand years.

[Caption:] Timeline of Inflation

[A log scale timeline marked by "Age of the Universe (Seconds)" at each factor of 10¹⁰, ranging from 10^-40 to 10²⁰. A bar labeled "Cosmic" begins off-panel to the left and continues up to roughly 10^-32 seconds. A second, much thinner bar labeled "Regular" covers another period between roughly 10¹⁶ and 10¹⁸ seconds.]

A foreign student asked me to help fight against his math teacher. That was unusual. He was in that class for just a couple of weeks. The teacher's phone number was sent to me. The student asked me to spam-call the teacher. 172.71.155.55 22:58, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

interesting way of writing quotations xd

hmmm this one of putting "<p>" in a line break will come in handy for when i want it to start at the same place than the first line

Please beware that <p> on mediawiki also disables automatic paragraph breaks, so you need a closing </p> or you'll break automatic paragraph formatting for the rest of the page. Zmatt (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

edit: da hek did that "</div>" come from An user who has no account yet (talk) 14:14, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Rules[edit]

Be a jerk!

There are a lot of comics that have set-in-stone explanations; only put one interpretation in the wiki page for each comic.

If you want to talk about a specific comic, don’t.

Please only submit material directly unrelated to xkcd and, of course, only submit material that cannot legally be posted or freely edited. On-topic or other appropriate content is subject to removal or modification at admin discretion, and users who repeatedly post such content will be blocked. Get good.

If you need assistance from an admin, post a message to the Admin requests board.
